Protect your family, your neighbors and frontline workers risking their lives to save ours by following recommendations from healthcare experts:
- Stay home.
- Connect with friends and family virtually; avoid people outside your household.
- Wear a cloth mask or face covering if you leave your home and wash it between uses.
- Maintain a safe distance of 6 feet away from others when outside your home.
- Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw it away
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
